Good deal...we were split between the Jx aand the rdx too but decided on the rdx for the same reasons as yours. Will be picking it up for $35,800 without accessories here in the bay area with $39,500 drive out. Not able to find anything cheaper in CA. Good call on not getting the 2014, its a waste of money.

Maybe he didn't need the 7 passenger car and its simple to differentiate the two. They are both luxury vehicles and you can get the JX for a lot less than $50K. Since when is Infinity such a spectacular car? I certainly wouldn't want one. My family looked at everything and we liked the Acura best. We also have an Audi and I would take the Audi over the JX. Just my opinion.

you don't..my wife really wanted the JX but I was stuck between the RDX, Q5, or X3.

For the deal I got, RDX was the best buy. This doesn't mean that Q5 or X3 weren't nice, I just couldn't justify the price because I was barely getting anything off the MSRP.

JX: My wife loves this suv but when I test drove it, I found nothing spectacular about the drive. The only thing I love about this SUV is its looks.. The JX I wanted had the MSRP of $54180 and I wanted it for $49,000 OTD. They wanted $51,000 OTD..I said too bad and bought the RDX..

Now that my wife's had it for a couple of days, she actually loves the RDX.

I have a Accord EX-L V6 and my lease is up in May 2014. I am patiently waiting for the Infiniti Q50 to come out and hope to strike a deal on it next May.

In our hunt for an SUV, we went to check out the Infiniti FX37 & EX37. I really liked FX37 but it was too expensive as compared to the RDX. The EX37 felt much smaller, lower & in fact more like a bigger hatchback. But then we saw the JX35 and really loved the room inside the car mainly because of the option of a 3rd row seat with very easy access (as compared to the MDX or any other 8 seater SUV). At this point in our life, we really didn't need a 7 seater and also it was $10K+ more than the RDX. Hence we decided against it. A few years down the line we'll definitely get a JX35 instead of an MDX or a van.

I understand the '14 MDX is supposed to hit the dealer lot in a couple of weeks. I'm curious to see how the 2 LCD screens minimize the number of buttons. I only need an RDX but my wife wants the extra space of the MDX. Our '04 MDX only has 172K mi. and has been flawless.

First I want to thank everybody on this forum that share so much information about purchasing and leasing. The trigger was finally pulled yesterday at $31,800 which included destination and before any extras added into the prices (which im sure the dealer made a nice profit on)

Thx for ur help. Picked up one for $34,400 yesterday with the same accessories you got. Negotiated a lot but they wouldn't bring it down any further. Said the deal they gave you was on an aged car and I couldn't wait till this one got aged as the market was getting thin on the 2013 RDXs. Really happy with my purchase.

Wanted some input to make a decision on the extended warranty for my new 2013 RDX. The 8 YR/96,000 mile warranty is for $3,800 and I negotiated it down to $2,200. Eventually didn't buy it though. Is it something I should get? Reasons being its a new remodel of the car so we don't if there are any issues with it plus the car has a lot of electrical & electronic parts. Any suggestions/opinions?

I wouldn't do it even if you got it down to $1500 or maybe even less. Your normal warranty will cover the powertrain for 6 yrs/70000 miles. If you are financing you will be paying whatever interest rate on that warranty as well. Put the $2200 in a dividend stock and leave it there. Chances are you will never need it. Plus what happens to the warranty if the car gets stolen or totalled? Does the insurance company reimburse you for that? I kind of doubt it.

Thank you all for posting your prices, it really helped me with buying a new RDX! I decided to register so I can share and add one more data point.

The 2013s are running low in my area, so I urge anyone on the fence to go out and get yourself a good deal before they are all gone. We originally wanted a graphite AWD Tech, but could only find Silver Moon left that met our black interior preference.

They also threw in 2 years of maintenance included in the price. I negotiated the price over email before going to the dealership. I feel good about the deal. Not the best price people have received, but very competitive nonetheless.

Just an FYI;Got a 2013 RDX Tech FWD for $33990 plus $95 dealer doc fee plus tax and tags AND 0% financing for 60 months...dealer bought down the current .9% Acura incentive. You can get this deal at most VA/MD dealerships around DC. Once I got this price I shopped around a couple dealers because I wanted a certain color...they would all match the deal.
